A road in my neighborhood was planned but never built. Now it is part of people's yards and will never be built. I can't figure out how to delete it I opened the data layer but see no delete option.

It is http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=41.579366&lon=-71.438544&zoom=18 and the name is Drift Way.

Do note that both of these solutions require you to open the online editor by clicking the "Edit" tab. :)

Click on it to highlight it, then click on the "trash can" icon in the lower right section. Click "save" in the upper left.
